ST. LUCIA – Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were married in the Caribbean over the Columbus Day holiday.

After Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were caught smooching in the Caribbean, rumors began to circulate that the two were dating. As it turns out, the couple didn’t go on vacation to catch some rays– they went to get married!

Gomez and Bieber have been rumored to be dating for months. Though they have been caught kissing and hugging in public, both parties deny that they are involved in a romantic relationship.

“The Biebs and I are just friends,” said Gomez in an interview last month. “Besides, we’re under age. It would be illegal for us to hook up.”

Obviously, Selena was only talking about marriage laws in the United States, because in St. Lucia, it is legal for minors to marry with written consent.

The couple departed for the Caribbean island recently, telling reporters that they were going out for a “fun weekend” and “to take a break from the stress of life.”

But we at Weekly World News had a hunch that something more was going on, so we sent some photographers out to crash the wedding. Here’s an exclusive shot from the ceremony:

According to inside sources, the wedding was a small, family-only affair that took place on Bieber’s private yacht. Usher, Ludacris, Ashton Kutcher, and Kim Kardashian were rumored to have attended.

“Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez could not be happier right now,” said Bieber’s publicist, “and I know they want the rest of the world to share in their happiness. It won’t be long before they announce their marriage to the world.”

The couple is rumored to be honeymooning in Thailand at the moment. They could not be reached for comment.
